^ exactly

1. why is there no picture showing the entire engine bay?
2. he says he sells to get a Mazda Protege, but then added he is only selling because he wants a muscle car?
3. Turbo & Nitrous but no internal work done, we all now our cars & nitrous dont mix in stock form

i wouldnt touch it.... but that just my opinion

ok. here is what he is probably saying. "safc" is not a standalone fuel sys. its a piggy back fuel control. ok. maybe honest mistake. (should of researched it in my opinion) "this car hugs the road, has a small step down from AWD" ok. now i dont know if something came out that im completely unaware of but. you either have AWD-FWD-RWD. now if im wrong and there is something in between please enlighten me. ive owned a few evo's and gst's and a supra, levins, pulars, silvias, and mr2 and a few gt starlets. i dont know anything to be in between. so i think this is what xanderracing is talking about. as for the nitrous witht he boost, sure why not. but i hope its built for it. ive sprayed on boost and its pretty hard on the motor, even when your built for it.but can and has been done many times over.

it looks to me like its probably a beat on pos. I agree with Silens, I wouldnt buy it because it has or has even had nitrous.

I wouldn't buy it for a lot of reasons. Nitrous, no pics of the car as a whole, and by the looks of the wheel, then thing has been off-road or wrecked. The seller is definitely not being honest about something.

the close up pics of a few parts of the car would hint to me that there's problems with it he doesnt want to show
i guess u could take the turbo out and other stuff and it would be worth it if it sells for under 3k

I say wow, becuase of the fact how some of you have already pointed out hes "getting a mazda protege speed" and then he says hes buying a... muscle car? It just doesnt make any sense... Then he says he has 20k miles on it... IT COULD Be, but i doubt it... Just looking at the condition of the car from the pictures. Basically my "wow" was just about everything in the entire auction. the "SSP" Knock-off cheap rims, the LANCER NOS ES... haha, hmm what else... how he has his Gauges mounted... and the ricer 5" tach.. and especially the NOS... The huge A$$ bottle in the trunk.. and he doesnt even state his internal mods/ nor show the engine compartment/ Odometer. It is just basically some one who is very confused on what he is selling, or is trying to pull a fruad.. In some manor, of how he state's the item. BUT IF, If he had a turbo, It would be to anyones advantage to buy, and part it out, previously stated by CadiLuva

if i still had carfax i'd run it to see what is on the record.

i'd like to know their secret to getting a FI car to get 30 MPG. maybe they just don't boost... or they have a friend in a truck pull them around while they idle in neutral.

looks like nothing but a load of BS to me. i like how it has been relisted with 50k more miles on the odometer...

yeah definitly run it trough carfacts but if he was using the nos alot expect to replace some rings or possibly have to bore it out due to warping.

Its probably wrecked. Or he used the nitrous and blew the motor...oooor the nitrous is just for looks. All I know is that if I was trying to sell a car I'd clean it up and take full pictures of each side of the car and engine bay. It's not that hard to do.
